Warning

• To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount fan directly from building structure and/or an outlet box marked acceptable for fan support of 70 lbs (31.8 kg) and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box.
• To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing or servicing your fan, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers in the off position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
•  To reduce the risk of electric shock, this fan must be installed with an isolating wall control/switch.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade brackets when installing the blade brackets, balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.

Choosing the Right Installation Location

You probably bought this fan with a location in mind. Let’s check below to make sure it is a good fit.

Check the room dimensions:

Check the outlet box:

You must be able to secure the fan to building structure or fan-rated outlet box.

Installing the Ceiling Bracket

You have two options for installation. Pick which one works best for your location. Remove any existing bracket prior to installation. Only use the provided Hunter ceiling bracket that came in your fan’s box.

Do this first!

WARNING
To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box associated with the wall switch location.

Option 1: Machine Screws
Use machine screws (provided with outlet box) and washers when securing to existing ceiling fan-rated outlet box. Make sure it is securely installed and is acceptable for fan support of 31.8 kg (70 lbs) or less.

Hunter Pro Tip:
The machine screws are the ones that came with your outlet box.

Option 2: Wood Screws
Use wood screws and washers (included) when securing to support structure with approved electrical outlet box. Drill 9/64” pilot holes in support structure to aid in securing ceiling bracket with hardware found in the hardware bag.

Installing the Top Housing

Thread the wires through the top housing. Place the top housing onto the motor housing so that the holes in the top housing lineup with the holes in the motor housing and the adapter.

Rest the trim ring on the top housing.

Place the canopy on the top housing. Ensure all four screw holes line up with the screw holes in both the top housing and the adapter.

• Install the top housing screws. Install the grounding screw in the smaller screw hole. These screws can be found in the hardware bag.
• The wires can be cut, but leave at least 8” extending from the  canopy.

Hanging the Fan

NOTICE
To prevent damage to fan, ALWAYS lift holding the fan housing.

• Raise the fan and align the slots in the canopy with the hooks on the ceiling plate.
• Place the slots over the ceiling plate hooks to hang the fan.

Note: To hang the fan, you must tilt the canopy to an almost vertical position so that the canopy slots sit on the ceiling plate hooks.

Wiring the Fan

We know wiring is hard. Let’s make it easier.
Follow these steps to get your fan wired quickly and safely. Follow the route below that best matches your wall switch setup. If you are unfamiliar with wiring or uncomfortable doing it yourself, please contact a qualified electrician.

You are going to need these:
4 Wire Nuts (these are in the bag)

Hunter Pro Tip:
Have extra wiring?
Turn the wires upward and push them carefully back through the hanger bracket into the outlet box. Spread the wires apart, with the grounded wires on one side of the outlet box and the ungrounded wires on the other side of the outlet box. Make sure that the wires are still attached to the wire nuts.

• Connect the 2 grounding wires (green, green/yellow stripe, or bare copper) coming from the ceiling and ceiling plate.
• Connect the white wire (grounded) from the ceiling to both the white wire from the receiver and the white wire from the fan.
• Connect the black wire (ungrounded) from the ceiling to the black wire from the receiver.

WARNING

• The ceiling fan must be grounded. If the ground wire for the installation site is not present, immediately STOP installation and consult a qualified electrician.
• All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring or in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

• Connect the blue wire from the receiver to the blue wire (or possibly black with white stripe wire) from the fan.
• Connect the yellow wire from the receiver to the black wire from the fan.

Installing the Canopy

• Place the receiver inside the canopy. Ensure the wires  remain connected.

• Swing the fan up to align the canopy screw holes with the mounting holes on the ceiling plate.
  Note: The slots in the canopy must remain engaged while swinging the canopy for alignment.

• Hold the canopy up with the screw holes aligned. Partially install two canopy screws, found in the hardware bag, into the holes opposite the ceiling plate hooks.

• Partially install a canopy screw, found in the hardware bag, between the ceiling plate hooks. When all the holes are properly aligned, securely tighten all three canopy screws.

• Using both hands, push the canopy trim ring up to the top of the canopy. The canopy trim ring will snap and lock into place.
  Note: Should you need to remove the trim ring, press firmly on opposite sides of the trim ring. The tabs will flex out releasing the canopy trim ring.

Installing the Blades

Assembling the Switch Housing

• Screw two housing assembly screws from the hardware bag halfway into the motor housing. It does not matter which two screw holes you choose.
• Feed the wire plug through the center hole of the hood, then wrap keyhole slots around the screws and twist counterclockwise.
• Insert the third screw, found in the hardware bag, into place and then tighten all three screws.

WARNING
FAN FALL HAZARD
Make sure the hood is securely attached to the mounting plate. Failure to properly secure all 3 assembly screws could result in the switch housing fixture falling.

Assembling the Light Kit

• Screw two housing assembly screws from the hardware bag halfway into the upper switch housing. It does not matter which two screw holes you choose.
• Connect the plugs from the upper and lower switch housings. Make sure to line up the colored markings on the connectors. Wrap light kit keyhole slots around the screws and twist counterclockwise.
• Install the third switch housing screw. Tighten all three screws securely.

WARNING
FAN FALL HAZARD
Make sure screws are tight to secure the light fixture.

• Install a bulb into each of the sockets. When necessary, replace with bulbs of the same type and wattage.
• Lift the globe and align the notches in the globe with the tabs in the light kit. Attach the glass bowl to the light kit by twisting it clockwise until it snaps into place.

WARNING
GLASS FALL HAZARD
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, make sure that glass is properly secured.

Preparing the Remote Control

The remote control is already paired for use.
For your convenience, a remote function card is packed in with your remote.

• To access the battery compartment, remove the small Phillips head screw that secures the battery door to the transmitter assembly. The battery should be installed with the positive (+) side up. Replace with a CR2032 battery when necessary

• The remote transmitter should already be paired to the receiver and ready to use.
  Note: If your need to pair your remote, turn fan power off and back on at the wall switch. Within 3 minutes, press and hold both the Fan Off button and the High button for 4 seconds to pair the remote. To prevent faulty operation, please ensure all other ceiling fans within range are turned off at the wall switch while pairing.

• To turn on fan, press a fan speed button. Speeds range from off (0) to high (3). Quickly press the Light button to turn the lights off and on.

Reversing the Fan

• Ceiling fans work in two directions: downdraft (counterclockwise rotation) and updraft (clockwise rotation). To change the direction of air flow, turn the fan off and let it come to a complete stop. Slide the reversing switch to the opposite position. Restart the fan.
• Updraft (clockwise rotation) creates a more indirect airflow. Updraft airflow is great for moving warm air downward.
• Downdraft (counterclockwise rotation) creates a direct breeze and maximum cooling effect.
